bwaahahaha!

 

Nice one.

 

Ah well....gotta love a guy with ambition. 

 

Now all I have to do is find a knackered and rusted out 240z shell!  Should be able to get at least 15K for it.  Easy.

 

Jokes aside, I suppose these things are the early signs of what is to come.  A good thing for Z owners.  Not so good if you are still hunting for the right one like me.

 

*sigh*

 

Patience Shan, patience.

White 240z in very average condition. Would need restoration from enthusiastic owner.

50k with an interior like that? Why hasen't a pair of race bucket seats been fitted? Fail.

Could at least have cleaned it up...

Why fit race seats when its an auto anyway?

Considering what mayhem's car sold for, 50k? 10+ yr old paint, un-certified FULL cage(not registrable over here without club racer rego and very limited on road use ie rally car), stock uni's in rear. Seemed a bit much for me, engine bay doesn't even look clean :\ That's all I can remember that let me down when I called the dude when it first went on the market.

What puts me right off is the 3 speed auto.. is it a Trimatic? with all that cash spent, you'd think a manual trans would have been fitted at the very least.

lets not crucify the guy.

This car appeared in Fast Fours & Rotaries a little while ago...after reading the write-up, I was very impressed with the rebuild and the goodies that went into it...the rebuild on the Jatco was a no-expense spared USA built..

I just dont know where he spent $120k hopefully its a typo. :P

Cheque book racer?

 

I see this thing parked out the front of a Drag racing fabrication shop in Penrith pretty regualrly. Perhaps that is where the $$$ went, paying someone to figure out how to cram those two turbos in.

 

I can't say that I have ever seen it on the street though ...

Must say that George's 350 convert is better.  Not that I've ever seen it but the stories I've heard even from blokes that dislike zeds it is one car I'd love to see.  I think it will become a thing of legend.

When I called he said he worked at a drag fab shop, so i'm gonna say he did most of the work himself. Did you guys see the turbo manifold when he first listed it, ugliest thing I've ever seen. Personally, I think he's made up that 120k figure.

What are these people smoking..

Anyone can ask any price for a zed ...I would love to know the final prices they end up with,

I know a couple of them $$ and people are kinding themselfs with some asking prices and what they finally went for.

I tend to agree mate, overpriced considering the condition its in. It probably has more rust than the description states also. A few years ago there would be no way you could ask more than $2k for a car like this.

 

I will be very interested to see how the car at Shannons auctions goes, because that's a car that's worth the extra penny and it should set a price for what an original, unmolested 240z is worth.

 

I think this guy would be lucky to get $5k for this project. However you never know right?

That is fantastic, I would buy that tomorrow if I didn't have my car already
